Subject: Spray tips size10 vs double 05


Minnesota
I need some bigger spray tips for spraying Enlist and Liberty. I have Wilger bodies with Aim Command on my sprayer. I am currently running mr08s, but need more flow to keep my speed up at 20 gpa. I have never used a nozzle on the bypass, but thinking about using an 05 on the bypass and one on the Aim to get the same flow rate and smaller droplets and still use an Enlist approved nozzle. Other than having to buy twice as many nozzles, is there any disadvantage of spraying with two 05s instead of a single 10?

Pretty much the -05 on the bypass is going to be like a 12GPA nozzle at like 12.5MPH, so might be putting out too much flow in your circumstance. How fast were you wanting to spray?

The main downside is if you had a High-flow setup with two -05s, there will be times when you are driving slower that your PWM setup will be putting out probably like only 30% of your volume. So, only turn comp on 30% of your flow. A shame in itself, but functionally it'd let you spray 20GPA at decent speed and make for finer spray than you'd get with like an MR110-10 or MR110-125 for sure.

For the Enlist label side of things, the MR110-05 would have a lower pressure rating on label, but functionally it would improve coverage as well, so as long as the drift is manageable with the MR110-05 for your conditions, should be good.


EDIT: Forgot to mention once you start getting into those larger nozzle sizes with the solenoid, it starts to have pretty huge pressure drop through the solenoid, so you won't get near as much flow capacity/speed by going up larger size(s). Again, if the aim was to do 20GPA @ 12.5mph, then it should be do-able with all the nozzles through the AIM side (with a double-down adapter). Otherwise, if you are trying to hit 20GPA @ 15mph, then its tougher to get it all through the solenoid.

Thanks. I have to run 65# boom pressure to get over 10 mph with mr08s on the Aim bodies. Are tables in the tip wizzard for tip pressure?

For the pressure at the tip, it is only written in the tip charts in the catalog under the PWM spray charts.

To have both boom pressure (what you see in the cab) and tip pressure is often too much info, but moreso it was harder to fit on the screen in the app as you'd be generally looking at it on a phone.
